Assistance dogs can support people living with psychosis, hallucinations or paranoia through:

• searching the house - offering reassurance there is no danger there when arriving home. 
• indicating whether there is another person there or if the perceived person/voice is a hallucination. 
• deep pressure therapy
• nudge/lick to bring focus back onto reality 
• create space around the handler when in public through block tasks
• provide medication reminders
